"He was so focused on his football," Taggart's ECU Joondalup junior coach Frank Donlevy said, per Mark Donaldson at the Joondalup Weekender. "He came to training and worked his backside off. I'm glad to see he's getting the rewards."

Without the ball, Taggart pressurises Roar centre-back Matt Smith into a mistake.

Upon pouncing on the loose ball, Taggart shows composure by chipping it over Theo.

"Another year here won't hurt him [Taggart], but at almost 21 he should be looking to push on and cement a place overseas," Van Egmond said, per Tom Smithies at The Daily Telegraph. "Going somewhere like Holland or Belgium would be good."

Seasoned professional Kew Jaliens, who won an Eredivisie title under Louis van Gaal at AZ, believes Jets teammate Taggart is suited to the Eredivisie and the Eerste Divisie.

"I think he [Taggart] is ready to go [to the Netherlands] now," Jaliens said, per Dave Lewis at SBS. "I think his style would be perfectly suited for a country like Holland."
